Winemaking Notes: Harvest is done entirely manual, usually in early October. After total destemming and a 1-2 day cold soak, the Petite Arvine ferments with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. 30% of the wine is racked into barriques, half of which are new. Then the wine spends 6-8 months in stainless steel tanks (70%) and barriques (30%).

Tasting Notes: The only indigenous white variety at the estate, the Grosjean family's Petite Arvine is bright and fragrant with notes of citrus and fennel. This wine has a solid structure that allows it to be enjoyed young or with substantial bottle age.
